Circles are drawn on chords of the rectangular hyperbola $xy = c^2$ parallel to the line $y = x$ as diameters. All such circles pass through two fixed points whose coordinates are:

Let $L(ae, b^2/a)$ be the end of the latus rectum of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ lying in the first quadrant,and let $S(ae, 0)$ be the focus of the given hyperbola. Given $L$ is $(x_1, 4)$ and $S$ is $(8, y_1)$,find the length of its transverse axis.

If $P(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = a^2$,then $SP \cdot S'P = \_\_\_\_$

Tangents are drawn to the hyperbola $4x^2 - y^2 = 36$ at the points $P$ and $Q$. If these tangents intersect at the point $T(0, 3)$,then the area (in sq. units) of $\Delta PTQ$ is:

If in a hyperbola,the distance between the foci is $10$ and the transverse axis has length $8$,then the length of its latus rectum is
